Previous:
Jeremy got up and walked over to me.
"You love me, right?" He asked.
"Always have, always will." I told him truth fully.
He hesitated then asked "You want to spend your life with me, correct?"
"Correct..." Where was he getting at this.
"Alright then...." Jeremy looked down and pulled something from his pocket. It was a black velvet, little box. About the size a ring would fit in. I thought I was seeing things when Jeremy got down on one knee. Was this really happening? Was he really about to do what I think he was going to? He opened the box, to show a silver banded ring with a green stone on top of the band. The stone was small and simple, but so beautiful. My heart rate went though the roof as I waited to hear his next question. Jeremy smiled up at me and held the box out towards me.
"Melissa Grace Montgomery will you marry me?"
MPOV (Melissa's point of view)
My breathing stopped and my head spin. Hadn't I just been thinking of Jeremy and I getting married? I wanted to give him an answer but my mouth wouldn't work, like so many times before. We had Karen, Jillian, and Seth's attention now. They we're staring at us, shocked. I suppose I was to, shock he had really asked me that. Will you marry me? Will you marry me? The question played over and over in my head. Like someone was pressing a rewind button in my mind.
Jeremy got a worried look on his face when I didn't answer right away. "Um...what...I...uh...well." The word 'yes' just wouldn't come to my lips.
Jeremy's face dropped, he thought I was saying no.
"I understand. Your not ready." He stood up and started to close the box.
My hand shot out and stopped him. "Yes." I finally said.
A smile broke out among his features. "Yes? Really? You'll marry me?" He asked in disbelief.
I smiled brightly myself and nodded. "Yes, I will marry you."
Jeremy wrapped his arms around me and spun me around, like you see in movies. When he set me down, he took the green stoned ring out of the velvet box. I held out my left hand and he slide the ring on my fourth finger.
"So your getting married?" Jillian asked excitedly.
"Yes!" I answered as Jeremy spun me around once again.
He was just so happy and so was I! We're getting married! What was there not to be happy about? Soon I'd be Jeremy's wife, our children were happy, health and two of them were in love. What more in life could I want right now? Things were great!
TWO DAYS LATER
Things aren't so great.
"Are you sure there coming?" I asked in disbelief. I got four nods, Alice, Karen, Edward and Jeremy.
They had all seen the same vision. The Volturi coming here tomorrow.
"Who are these Volturi people?" Carley wondered.
Of course she wouldn't know of them, not many people in the ghost world probably did. The kids didn't know much about them either. I let the Cullen's explain who they were while I thought about my time in Italy. It felt like a life time ago when it was only a year or so. Tears threatened to come when I thought about my mother.
Flashback
"So what brings you here?" Aro asked like an idiot.
I probably should have let Edward answer but didn't think about it at the time.
"We've come to get my mother, Alison. You know the one you kidnapped! Then you changed her in to a flipping vampire!" I shouted at Aro.
"Oh yes I almost forgot. Jane would go and get Alison. Having Alec here wouldn't be so bad either." He forgot! Ugh! I can't believe this guy!
Jane was gone only a moment before she was back with two other people. The boy looked a lot like her. They were twins and very young. About a year or two younger then me. The other person I knew was my mother but I didn't realize it was her at first. Alison looked so beautiful in the black clothes she had on. She didn't look anywhere near her age but much younger. Her eyes scared me the way they looked at me. Her crimson red eyes ran up and down me.
Alison turned to Aro with a smile.
"She's mine right? I get to drink from her?"
I couldn't stop the gasp that escaped my throat. I felt my eyes fill with tear but didn't want to cry in front of all these people. My mother just thought I was her snack! Please someone say I heard her wrong.
"No Alison this is your daughter. She's come to join us." When Aro said that it got me out of my shock of what mom said.
"The heck she is! I'm not becoming one of you!" I yelled glaring daggers at the man.
He simply smiled. "That's what you think child. You have to become one of us soon. Very soon."
"And why is that?!" "Because if you don't, we will be forced to kill you." Kill me?
End Flashback
"Melissa? Hello? Mel?" Jeremy was waving a hand in front of my face. I shook my head slightly and blinked myself back to the present.
"Huh? What?"
"Just trying to bring you back to us." He said. He must have read my mind.
"So...Alison is your mom and our grandmother?" Karen asked, motioning to her brother and sister.
So she was in my head too. I've thought it once and I'll think it again, Bella is so lucky! I sighed and nodded. Karen let the topic drop, for now.
After an hour of no stop Volturi talking I couldn't take it anymore.
"I'm going for a walk." I told my family as I went out the door.
I hadn't walked two steps from the house before Jeremy was there beside me. "You alright?"
"Yes. I...guess I just miss my mother."
"I understand. But...there's something I need to tell you, before they get here." Jeremy sounded nervous. I stopped walking, it wasn't like him to be nervous.
"Okay, what is it?" Jeremy didn't answer right off, he looked as if he was about to tell me my dog died.
"Jeremy come on. We're going to get married soon. We can't keep secrets, you can tell me anything and I know I can tell you anything." I took his hand in mine and gave him an encouraging smile.
With a sigh Jeremy asked "You remember that day when Matt hit you?"
"Yes."
"Okay you know when you asked me, later on, where I had been, and I told you 'I had to take care of something'."
"And 'I hate not being able to tell you what that is but it's safer for you that way'." I finished for him, about ready to scream, because he wouldn't get to the point.
Jeremy sighed again and made sure not to look me in the eye. "At the time I thought it was safe for you not to know what I was doing but now...I have no choice but to tell you." I sighed myself, becoming irritated with him.
"Jeremy just spit it out!"
"I was talking to Alison."
"What?" I was lost.
"What I had to take care of, was your mother. She followed us from Italy, and came here. She wanted to see you." Was I hearing him right? Surely I wasn't. Jeremy went on "Alison...has come by a few times but I never let her see you."
I stared at him, trying to make understand his words.
"So your telling me, my mother as come here and you didn't tell me?"
Jeremy nodded.
Before I could stop myself or before I even realized what I was doing, my hand shot up and slapped Jeremy. Not a playful slap or a gentle slap. It was a full fledged slap.
"I suppose I deserved that." He muttered touching his cheek, if he were human there would have been a red mark on his face.
"Your sure as hale right you deserved that!" I yelled.
I was about to tell him off when I stopped myself. I knew I'd say something I'd regret later so I kept my mouth shut. I glared at him a moment then forced myself to go back inside the house. I heard him behind me when I got to the door, I made sure I slammed it in his face. I got a lot of puzzled and questioning looks from my family but didn't say anything. I just walked past them and up to the room I'd be sleeping in alone tonight. I slammed that door and locked it.
"Mom?" Karen called from the other side of the door ten minutes after I came in.
"Karen, I'm not in the mood to talk. You can pass that on to the others too." I told her, not opening the door.
I really was wanting to talk, but not to my children. My head was right years ago, I am to young to have children. I heard a gasp on the other side of the door and realized Karen was listening to my thoughts.
"Can't I have any privacy?! Why must someone always be in my head!" I wasn't yelling but getting pretty darn well close to it.
"Sorry." Karen said, then walked away from the door.
I was 18, had three kids, was a ghost and a shape-shifter, then I was about to get married. What kind of life was this for a 18 year old?
Bella.
Her name just popped in to my head. She had been the same age I was now when she got married, had Nessie and became a vampire. Our life's weren't that different, both confused and in love.
Love.
Love was what started all this, next to... Suddenly my mind went back to the accident, the accident that started this whole mess.
Memory
"Jeez, Jeremy slow down!" I exclaimed seeing he was going 120 miles an hour.
"Do you see any other cars around?" He asked looking around. I did the same, and saw nothing.
"No but--."
"See? Why slow down when there's no other cars around?"
"Because it's safe!"
Jeremy rolled his eyes. "You worry to much, babe."
"Do not."
"Yeah right." He muttered under his breath. I hit his shoulder. Jeremy turned his face to me.
"Why do you always do that?"
"What? Hit you?"
"Yes."
"I only do it when I don't have a comeback to something you say."
"So you just---."
I cut him off by yelling. "Look out!"
Jeremy jerked his head back to the road. He saw the on coming car, just a few feet in front of us. He turned the wheel to the side but turned it to much. Jeremy lost control of the car. At the exact same moment we noticed we were headed right for the cliff edge.
I just knew I was going to die but I didn't care. I had him with me and nothing else mattered. I had my Jeremy and was happy to be spending the last moments of my life with him. I loved him and knew he felt the same way about me. I didn't even have think about screaming as we went over the cliff. I looked and Jeremy and he looked at me. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I leaned over and kissed him right before the car hit ground. The car rolled over a couple of times but after that I don't remember anything else. I had hit me head on the dashboard and the hit was so hard it knocked me out.
Memory Over
Wait...Jeremy was looking at me, that's way he didn't see the car. We went off the cliff, because of me. Jeremy became a vampire, he left me,my mother was turned in to a vampire and had to work with the Volturi. All that was my fault. And so was Karen being attacked by Adrian, well Adrian being in my children's life's altogether, Jeremy's hard life was all my fault. Everything bad that had happened since the accident was...my fault. I had ruined more life's then anyone should be able to do. How can one person do so much damage to so many people?
I looked down at the ring Jeremy had purposed to me with. How could I marry him? After all that I put him though...it just wasn't right. Should I really marry Jeremy? Truthfully I didn't think I deserved him. Yes I loved him and he loved me but were we meant to get married. I almost died, maybe that was a sign that we weren't suppose to get married. Maybe all that's happen was to prove Jeremy and I weren't meant to be.
"That's absurd and you know it!" Jeremy suddenly shouted from outside the bedroom door.
I jumped up and jerked open the door. "Why are you in my head, yet again?" I asked angrily, couldn't I think with out the whole world knowing what I was thinking?
"You locked me out, how else was I suppose to know what you were thinking?"
"Your not suppose to! My thoughts are mine and your thoughts are yours!" My voice raising.
"I can't trust you alone with your thoughts! The last time I did, you left me!" Jeremy yelled right in my face, he was just as mad as I was.
"What are you trying to say? That I'm going to leave again?"
"I don't know what your going to do anymore, Mel. You've changed so much I feel as if I don't know you half the time!"
"And that's my fault?!"
"Yes! Who's else's would it be?"
"Um, let me see...oh yeah, Adrian's!"
Jeremy rolled his eyes. "You can't keep blaming Adrian for everything!"
"I'm not!"
"The heck you are!" We had gained the attention of most of the family, by now. I noticed Karen and David throwing worried glances at each other.
"Can't you take some responsibility, and own up to your mistakes?" Jeremy asked, I don't think he even noticed the others were around.
"I have and I do!"
"No you don't! It's always someone else's fault and never yours! You like to blame your problems on others!"
"I thought you were listening to my thoughts?"
"I was!"
"Then you should know that I blame myself for you dieing!" His hard angry expression soften when I said that. "I blame myself for everything that's happened since the accident!"
Jeremy didn't say anything at first when he finally did speck it was in a quite voice. "I didn't hear that part."
"Well maybe if your going to listen to my thoughts then you should listen to them all before you jump to conclusions! And you know what I'm thinking now?!" I asked, then pulled the green stoned ring from my finger.
"I'm thinking, I made a mistake when I said yes!" I shouted and throw the ring on the floor.
I pushed him out of the door frame then slammed the door as hard as I could, right in his face for the second time that day.
